Key Departements

Operations Department

The popular image of operation is one of slick, fast-moving back office support. But it can only work if the right processes are in place to back them up. That’s where Operations comes in. A core function of Operations is to control and manage the processing of transactions made by various other departments/branches of the bank .
Operations is a non-revenue making department but it couldn’t be more vital. In helping to streamline the processes used by the front office (the revenue generating part of the bank) it can save the bank millions.
Operations also oversees many regulatory requirements of the bank, as well as resolving discrepancies occurred during transactions processing.
In summary, it shouldn’t be surprising that Operations is often viewed as the engine of the bank. It works across the whole organization to meet the operational challenges of processing transactions, settling trades and satisfying the needs of colleagues and clients across multiple time zones in all major currencies. In a bank this is a huge undertaking with responsibility for millions of transactions every day.

Centralized Operations:

Operation Department is headed by a Chief Operating Officer and Deputy Chief Operating Officer. For any enquires on operational issues such as:

Marketing

Marketing is a very important aspect in business since it contributes greatly to the success of the organization. Production and distribution depend largely on marketing. Many people think that sales and marketing are basically the same. These two concepts are different in many reasons. Marketing covers advertising, promotions, public relations, and sales. It is the process of introducing and promoting the product or service into the market and encourages sales from the buying public. Sales refer to the act of buying or the actual transaction of customers purchasing the product or service.

Advertising is a form of communication intended to persuade an audience (viewers, readers or listeners) to take some action with respect to products, ideas, or services.
Commercial advertisers often seek to generate increased consumption of their products or services through "branding," which involves the repetition of an image or product name in an effort to associate certain qualities with the brand in the minds of consumers.
Bakhtar Bank’s Marketing Department is consisting of three key sub-sections of Sales, Media, and Public relations and is being headed by the Dy. CMO. In case of any further information please contact:
